rating: 5 QuoteThey changed the World!Quote
This dramatization about Apple and Microsoft and focusing primarily on Steve Jobs and Bill Gates is an excellent peek into the early PC industry. Gates is the marketing genius. Jobs it the visionary genius.

Pirates of Silicon Valley does an excellent job of capturing some of the feelings, emotions and personalities of these two driven men who helped to change the world in the last quarter of the century and are still changing it today.

This movie is a good start to understanding what it was like to be part of creating an entire industry from scratch. Jobs and Gates were in the right place at the right time and had the right drive to help them become giants. The movie also does a good job of exploring some of their flaws.

Well worth the time...

Triumph of the Nerds is another movie that is worth the time to see. It fills in some of stories of the other participants in the PC revolution.
